TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t engage in a debate that has the potential to turn into an argument. Regret is likely if you aren’t willing to compromise. Overreacting and overspending will be what stands between you and victory.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Plan your investment strategy before you go on a spending spree. Don’t donate or give too much to someone asking for a handout. Don’t believe everything you hear. Put your money into self-improvement, your career or your home.
